Kiai can't even be dodged. Allowing it to be parried sounds weird to me.



A suite of limitations and enhancements organized around innate attacks and where they come from would be awesome.

You're right, reviewing it, it seems more like a Malediction. Barely even Sense-Based because even Deaf people only get a meager bonus against the Quick Contest.
